Announcer

Broadcasting live statewide from the Civic Media studios in Green Bay.

This is Nightlight with Pete Schwabba, your inside source on everything entertainment from Wisconsin to Hollywood.

And now, a guy who wears a bathing suit in the shower, Pete Schwabba.

I

Pete Schwabba

forgot about that one.

Conrad (Producer)

I had to do something bath related.

Pete Schwabba

Hey, welcome to Nightlight.

I am Pete Schwabba.

I'm not going to say I've never worn a bathing suit in the shower, but it's been a few weeks.

Great to have you with me.

It's Friday night, folks.

You made it through the week.

How very exciting.

and how even more exciting that we get to close our work week together here on Nightlight tonight on this beautiful Friday evening in the state of Wisconsin, wherever you are joining us from, welcome, welcome to Nightlight.

Got a really fun show tonight.

We are going into the weekend in style, I think.

It's supposed to be nice this weekend, at least tomorrow, I think, is supposed to be nice.

So we will get some good weather, some great movies out there.

Lots to talk about.

There's Sydney Sweeney bath soap selling like hotcakes.

We've got a local boy made good we'll talk about.

And some great guests tonight.

Conrad is sitting in the producer's chair.

Well, he's producing the show.

He's not just sitting here because it's a comfortable chair.

How you doing, buddy?

Conrad (Producer)

I'm doing good.

You know, so yesterday we talked about the text I got from...

Pete Schwabba

Yeah, the wrong number text.

Conrad (Producer)

Yes.

So today...

Pete Schwabba

Oh, here we go.

Conrad (Producer)

Today I got a new text from

Pete Schwabba

the same person.

Conrad (Producer)

No, it was a different number.

It was a 415 No, that's San Francisco.

Okay.

Yeah, so She said let's go shopping and have a fun day together.

Yeah, I said, I think you got the wrong number.

She said I'm Lisa Are you Nina?

And remember Lisa was They're

Pete Schwabba

playing you this is a scam

Conrad (Producer)

and I said naturally I said no, I'm Greg

Pete Schwabba

Okay, good,

Conrad (Producer)

and she said oh my gosh.

I'm sorry.

Hope you'll forgive this clumsy girl, but it's nice to meet you anyway, Greg And then I just said you should seek help

Pete Schwabba

Wow, that's kind of an escalation

Conrad (Producer)

and then she said thank you Thanks for your forgiveness.

Do you live in New York?

I invite you I invite you to coffee to apologize And I said no I live in Australia and it ended there so

Pete Schwabba

You probably blew your chance at a threesome there.

I mean, you just got so angry so quickly.

Conrad (Producer)

Yeah, I escalated with saying you should seek help.

Pete Schwabba

First of all, it's a bot or it's something.

It's a machine.

You're not you're not offending anybody.

So yeah, that's how they do it.

And there's all different kinds of ways.

Like, are you still at work?

It starts with this conversation and.

All right, here's what would the next time that happens save it okay compare these and I want to I'll read mine when I was Tristan and I told that the woman I was depressed because The woman it's not a woman.

Yeah, it's it's whoever it is.

It could be a contrast, bro.

I think it's AI or some kind of chat GPT or whatever But yeah, we'll get into all that but fun show tonight despite the fact that Conrad also almost got taken for thousands of dollars.

We do have a good show tonight

We're going to talk some sports with our pal, Mike Clemens.

He'll be here at 6.35.

Mike is so much fun to talk to, and we try not to pester him too much, but we love when he comes on the show.

At 7.05, my pal, Mark Unger, an actor and comedian, he is the founder of the show, creator of the show, Fespian, and Mark has an interesting credit to it.

A very few times, like...

Wayne York was on the show last night.

Wayne is a friend of mine.

He made the popcorn pick the week Wayne has like 50 or 60 TV credits Rarely when you do a walk-on role Do you have one where everybody remembers the role and mark was the guy who locked Joey from friends in the entertainment center and robbed him blind?

That was mark hunger.

He's on the show tonight at 705.

I don't

Well, I didn't bring him on the show to talk about that scene, although maybe I'll bring it up.

But Mark had a great take on the end of the Sopranos.

He posted it on Facebook, and I thought, I gotta have Mark back on the show.

He's been here before.

But we'll talk about Mark and his opinion on the Sopranos and the way the show ended.

Kind of a controversial ending.

And then it is a bar man Friday night, folks.

Terry Barr is still on vacation.

And she's using all her days, I think.

She's probably, she's gonna be out of days when she comes back.

You know, can you hear me?

Yes that kind of took a powder But Terry will be back.

I think next week of the week after but rockers coming back We had a blast with rocker last week and he introduced us to six new bands and talked about some really cool events Coming up in Madison.

So we'll talk to rocker again at 735 for Barbie on Friday night.

How about that Shot last night by Tyrese Halliburton.

I have not watched the NBA so long, but my brother was in town.

I went over

And I saw like the last five minutes of the game, you know This kid is from Oshkosh North.

Yeah.

Yeah, and apparently was not even recruited by the Badgers.

Conrad (Producer)

No, it's crazy That's like is so wrong.

I don't know fifth or sixth clutch shot that he's

Pete Schwabba

had just this year.

Conrad (Producer)

Yeah, and you know

At the beginning, I think it was like middle of the year.

Maybe I forget where it when it was but they they asked the NBA like the players who was the most overrated player in the NBA and It was a vote for Tyrese Halberd overrated overrated.

Yeah,

Pete Schwabba

I'll take him and he sees he's proving them wrong He just in the playoffs alone.

They were showing the highlights last night.

That is so cool

So I'll be curious to see what Mike Clemens has to say about that But that's kind of inexcusable that you let a guy did he go to Iowa State or Iowa?

Conrad (Producer)

Yeah, he went out.

He was a cyclone Iowa State

Pete Schwabba

Unbelievable so that but it was fun.

It was fun to see it was constant kid do something in the playoffs Not just do something steal game one and take home court advantage back to Indianapolis.

That was a huge shot

Conrad (Producer)

Yeah, and I cool thing actually got to watch him play in high school

Pete Schwabba

Oh, really?

Conrad (Producer)

Yeah.

Uh, I want to see him at Concordia University where they do a, like it's like a Christmas tournament

Pete Schwabba

of like

Conrad (Producer)

the best teams in Wisconsin.

No, he's about your age, right?

Uh, well, he was a little bit, he's a little bit younger.

I was, I was out of high school at that time, but yeah, I was Tyler hero, Tyrese Halliburton and Jordan McCabe.

We're all playing that.

It was, it was really cool.

Nice.

Pete Schwabba

That would be pretty sweet.

Do we know more about the Dork County like how many nights it is?

Conrad (Producer)

No, not yet.

Pete Schwabba

All right, and speaking of gas money I had I Have an old Toyota Land Cruiser, which is kind of a collector's item It belonged to a very famous director in Hollywood and I love the car.

My wife loves the car It is a V8 this thing is a hog man.

It's a 99 Land Cruiser We've taken pretty good care of it since we've owned it only had like 60,000 miles on it when I bought it.

Anyway, it needed

Some work done and it was like the break line and then some kind of sway bar and then it needed something or other 2300 bucks It cost me and I don't I've thought about selling it I know what the high-end blue book is what the low-end blue book I know if I go to trade it in they're gonna go it's only worth 500 bucks and I'm gonna go no it's not take a hike So I don't know I mean when you just put that much money into your car

Do you sell it or do you hold on to it?

Because my mechanic, a really good guy, Al McLean at McLean's in Marinette, said, you know, this might be good for five years before you need to drop money.

I've spent an average of $1,200 a year on this car.

It's got 240,000 miles.

Never a problem with the engine or any of that kind of stuff.

So here's the problem, Con.

Do you have checks?

No, I don't either.

I haven't used a check in four years.

Yeah.

Well, guess what?

This huge bill from my mechanic, they said, you might want to bring cash or a check because there's a 3% fee now with debit and credit cards.

With a bill like that, it's like 70 bucks, whatever it is.

So I call my bank, USAA, and they go, all right, we've just approved you to withdraw that amount of money, just going to any bank.

I go into three banks in Marinette today and they're like, we can't give you that much money.

I'm like, it's my money.

I'm not asking you for a gift.

I have my debit card right here.

They wouldn't do it.

No, we have limits.

So supposedly, I was supposed to ask for a bank, I don't know, a bank lobby cash advance.

It was very specific wording.

So I ended up just getting the money from my dad and I Venmoed him.

You can Venmo people.

It cost me nothing to Venmo that much money.

Conrad (Producer)

Oh yeah,

Pete Schwabba

Venmo's great.

Love it.

So anyway, that was a real pain in the ass.

But I don't know.

I don't know if I should sell.

Hold on to it now because I just sunk all this money into it and I do love the car.

So there you go So what else we got come we got Sydney Sweeney sold out of soap

Conrad (Producer)

yes Sold out completely and now it goes for resale value is now like 250

Pete Schwabba

250 dollars to be specific.

Yeah, just to use soap that supposedly has Sydney Sweeney's bathwater in it, which it doesn't

There's no, well, come on.

Conrad (Producer)

They have a little test tube of just her bathwater and they put one little drop

Pete Schwabba

in every,

Conrad (Producer)

every

Pete Schwabba

bar.

And she's sitting there soaking while they scoop out all the bathwater and put it in the soap.

No, I don't even want to know what men are doing with that bar of soap.

But it has nothing to do.

They don't care if they smell like Sydney Sweeney.

They just want some, something that ties them to Sydney Sweeney.

Conrad (Producer)

Yeah, they, they canceled my order on the 30 pack.

Pete Schwabba

We got to get some.

Yeah.

I would love to smell it and see what it smells like.

I'm very curious.

I was trying to get it.

I was trying to get it just

Conrad (Producer)

because of

Pete Schwabba

that.

How lonely are men that they're ordering a bar of soap that they don't care about?

Hey, Conn, we got to get to some business here.

So you'll have to wait before you are able to get clean if you want to do it Sydney Sweeney style.

So we've got a phone call.

Let's take the phone call.

Conrad, who do we have?

Ollie from the Northwoods.

Ollie, how are you?

Happy Friday.

Ollie from the Northwoods (caller)

Oh, I'm good.

How about you guys?

Pete Schwabba

We're doing swell and even better now that we're hearing from you.

What's on

Ollie from the Northwoods (caller)

your mind?

Well, first off, cinnamon roll isn't a doughnut.

Pete Schwabba

I told

Ollie from the Northwoods (caller)

you.

In large, you're...

Pete Schwabba

My

Ollie from the Northwoods (caller)

doughnut

Pete Schwabba

network, sure.

Yeah, okay.

Ollie from the Northwoods (caller)

Yeah, but I'm gonna pick one doughnut and one other thing too, so we'll...

Will be even okay, my favorite donut is an old-fashioned donut um now that's like a Regular donut, but it's got extra something in it and It fries up crispier and denser than that I like

Either the plain one or they Edmunds used to have one that had like a Crumbled powdered sugar.

Oh, those are

Pete Schwabba

good.

Yeah, I remember those

Ollie from the Northwoods (caller)

And then another thing that I like that I haven't seen for years is a croissant that's got like that's deep fried and it's got chocolate on the top

Holiday gas station used to have those or cub foods.

Cub foods?

You have them.

And they're delicious.

Pete Schwabba

You and I are in cahoots then, Ollie, because we both chose something that's a non-donut, but still packed with deliciousness.

Ollie from the Northwoods (caller)

Yep.

Pete Schwabba

Yeah, I'm sure.

Thank you so much for the call, Ollie.

Have a great night.

Ollie from the Northwoods (caller)

I'll keep up.

Bye-bye.

Those are

Pete Schwabba

great choices.

I do remember that Entmans used to make like a devil's food, chocolate, donut, chocolate.

like frosting all around it, it was so good.

And I do like a nice like a coffee cake.

Coffee cake is a donut either though, I guess.

Like streusel on there, icing, delicious.

Coffee cake is so good.

Yeah, I guess we're getting off on a tangent here, but let's go to the text line and see what the good people say.

What is your favorite kind of donut style or brand?

Tom from New Berlin says long John with chocolate top and cream filled center and a small coffee to start my day.

Conrad (Producer)

That is a great choice right there.

Pete Schwabba

I think Conrad and Tom need to pal around more because that's exact exactly what Conrad said.

Melissa from Madison says chocolate covered cake.

Melissa's speaking my language, love a cake donut.

Monica from Mount Horrib says, Dunkin Donuts used to have a toasted coconut donut.

Oh yes, I remember that.

Oh.

Toasted coconut is awesome in any form.

Yes.

And she says that was pretty darn good, but they stopped making it.

You know what I like though at Dunkin Donuts are the strawberry frosted ones.

They're like sort of a raised donut, not a cake.

Conrad (Producer)

You know what's weird?

I've never had a Dunkin donut.

Pete Schwabba

Seriously.

Conrad (Producer)

No.

Oh.

I've

Pete Schwabba

had their coffee

Conrad (Producer)

and their breakfast sandwiches, but never a donut from there.

Yeah.

All

Pete Schwabba

right.

Anna from Madison says, hi, Pete and Conrad.

My favorite donut is an iced Bismarck with jelly filling.

Yeah, I like one of those once in a while too.

How do

Conrad (Producer)

you feel about jelly filling?

Pete Schwabba

Okay, better than cream.

Really?

I can't do cream.

I can't do custard in a donut.

Conrad (Producer)

All right.

Jelly is pretty good to

Pete Schwabba

me.

Jelly's good.

Yeah, I like to go with the lemon too.

That's good when they have like a lemon filling or blueberry filling with a light icing.

Get down on it.

Fantastic stuff.

Madison from Plummer says, Fosdale's donuts in Stoughton literally anything they make.

Interesting.

We should get them on the blower counter.

See if they want to do the popcorn pick one of these days.

And

Conrad (Producer)

bring in donuts.

Pete Schwabba

Fosdale's donuts.

Yeah, they can mail order some donuts.

That doesn't wreak of desperation.

Ed from Madison says, I love me a crawler.

Oh, I forgot about crawlers.

Those are great with coffee, too.

Yeah.

Tom from New Berlin also says a kringle is not a doughnut.

Bit tasty, Conrad.

Let's play nine.

There we go.

There we go.

With some doughnuts and coffee.

That's a nutty night out on the town right there is what that is.

All right, folks.

It's a bar ban Friday night.

Rocker will be here at 735.

with new music and great conversation, just like his Max and co-host Terry Barr.

Usually is, she's still on vacation.

Hope Terry's having a good time.

My pal Mark Unger, actor and creator of the show, Thespian, will be here at 7.05 to talk about the Sopranos and their controversial ending and coming up next.

After the news, our pal.

Mike Clemens, Civic Media Sports Authority, gives us a quick sports rundown.

Be great to Dr. Mike.

Don't go anywhere.

We've got a fun Friday here.

LFG, baby.

It's Nightlight with Pete Schwabba on the Civic Media Radio Network.

I'm Pete Chihuahua.

Great to have you with me on this Friday night.

You're barreling towards the weekend, folks.

Did you see Jameson's text?

He said, church potato donuts.

I thought he was going couch p-tato.

We still got to do something with couch potatoes.

Couch p-tato.

Conrad (Producer)

Well, it is.

It is running.

It's a promo.

Is it

Pete Schwabba

running?

Yeah.

All right.

Well, we got a text from Luke Mathers.

I can't wait to find out what kind of donut Luke likes.

All right.

What is your favorite kind of donut, folks?

Brand or style, go.

Let us know.

855-752-4842-8557-5.

Civic, be part of the show, and we'll read your text on the radio.

Right now, it is my pleasure to welcome to the show, Civic Media Sports Authority and our pal, Mike Clemens.

Hey, buddy.

Mike Clemens

Hey, Pete.

Conrad, how are you guys doing?

Pete Schwabba

We are doing swell.

How are you?

Mike Clemens

Sitting in the press box, uh, sunshine, 71 degrees.

The roof is open.

Roors about to get started to get to San Diego Padres at the seven 10.

It's the longest home stand of the summer at Amfam field.

The 12 games are going to play the, the Padres this weekend and the Braves come to town.

And then next weekend, the Cardinals were in second place right now in the, you know, the division.

They, uh, they're behind the Cubs.

then they're coming here.

So Brewers could make some nice headway here, but five, six games behind the Cubs right now.

Pete Schwabba

Yeah.

But a nine and they're like, well, the Cubs are pretty hot too.

That's the problem probably, but if the Brewers keep playing like this, Mike, I gotta think they're going to be in great shape.

Mike Clemens

And I was talking to Craig Cushion, who's on the fan deal network about this.

And he said, he said, you know, last year it's right off.

He said, you knew that give Craig council a year to figure things out.

And then tell the Cubs front office what he really needed make some adjustments You know because he's still a pretty damn good manager and and now he's got things in place He's also got some healthy guys and they're the Cubs are contender right now.

Pete Schwabba

That's fantastic So beautiful night out at the ball field Mike Just you're living the life man.

That's a great.

Do you ever just sit back and go out of the best job in the world?

Mike Clemens

I do, except when I'm sending you guys audio cuts at 4.30 in the morning, and I've been up for 21 hours.

There's a lot of driving and all that.

But no, covering the brewers, the packers, the Wisconsin Badgers, the Bucks, there's endless stories.

And I spend most of my time saying, all right, I only got X amount of time.

How do I get all these stories in?

What are the most important ones that the fans are going to want to know?

That's the best part of it, but I work at it, you know, every day.

It's every day, but, um, and you got to build relationships and you got to, you know, you've got to build some trust there so that, and I'm not going through people's garbage, but, you know, I do, I, I work for fans.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah.

Mike Clemens

People say, oh, sir, you baseball, you're a Brewers fan of it.

No, I work for fans and I'm trying to find out what's the team doing today?

What is in their best interest today to try and win these games?

and get this ball club to the next level.

Pete Schwabba

Very nice.

Well, we certainly appreciate your time, buddy.

And I know how hard you work.

So thank you on behalf of all of your fans for working so hard on our behalf.

So the Packers just wrapped up OTAs, as did many teams in the NFL.

What can you report?

Did anything stand out?

Mike Clemens

Yeah, Jordan Love showed a 60-yard bomb with precision, perfect spirals, perfect rotation.

hitting jaden reid number eleven down at the other end of the field jordan uh... in eleven eleven it's okay it's on here is helmets and shorts but nevertheless there's things you can tell when it's eleven on eleven they're going full speed against the pretty good packers defense and he hit from your dogs in the bed in the corner in the team celebrate because you know that it's it's late end of may early june and you know they've got some chemistry guns they they're in sync so that look pretty good

One of the first things I was looking for, Pete, when this session of OTA started this past month was number 32, the running back, Marshawn Lloyd, who they picked up in the third round last year out of USC.

And, you know, you moved on from AJ Dillon at running back.

He had a neck injury, which put him on IR for the rest of year.

He's now a Philadelphia Eagle because you felt like, you know how solid Josh Jacobs is as a running back, but he's more of a power back.

So they spent that third round pick on a guy that had speed that they could use for jet sleeves, maybe even returns.

And he had one or two different injuries.

And just when they finally thought they might get him back for December in the playoffs, then he has an appendicitis attempt.

So he spent most of the last year on IR.

I don't have any data on him.

I've got a feel for what the kid is.

So there we are for the first couple of OTAs.

And there he is on the sidelines.

Working out with Christian Watson who's trying to come back from an ACL We asked a little flur about it.

He goes yeah, look we're we saw enough from the kid to know that we're excited There's a lot of promise there, but no question about it He's got to figure out now how he's going to make himself available and be more consistent apparently some sort of a hamstring thing but they said that this running back March on Lloyd Day after the loss of the Eagles in the playoffs in the facility working out work with the trainers

trying to improve his body the best that he can.

So it's not for lack of trying, but this guy's got to figure out a way to be able to participate.

Pete Schwabba

Oh, you got to love that.

Mike Clemens is my guest.

He is our Civic Media Sports Authority and joins us here periodically on Night Light.

He is coming to us live from Amfam Field.

Mike, Aaron Rodgers agreed to a one-year deal with the Steelers.

We were kind of talking about this a little bit last night.

That's a much better situation he's going into in Pittsburgh than he did last year, don't you think?

Mike Clemens

Probably because Mike Tomlin has been there, you know, I remember when Mike McCarthy got hired in oh six I think Tomlin got hired like a week later and like was younger than McCarthy by six months and that kind of burned McCarthy because not, you know McCarthy was excited to go from offensive coordinator of the Saints to a head coach of the Green Bay

SPEAKER_08

Packers

Mike Clemens

But you know, he would have much rather been from Pittsburgh the head coach of the Steelers.

Well, Tomlin has been there

He's never had a losing season.

Gone to the Super Bowl, 1-1.

So there he still is.

And over the years, Aaron Rodgers has talked about, you know, he appreciates the operation that Mike Tomlinson had run in all those years in Pittsburgh.

And so after the Jets made Rodgers come in, Aaron Glenn, the new head coach, the former Lions defensive coordinator, brought him in, said, yeah, we just want to let you know that we're moving on.

Well, how do you want to release this?

Like, and Aaron said, you made me fly out across the country, so if you tell me you didn't want me, I mean, couldn't we done this over the telephone?

Well, you know, we just wanted to treat you with respect.

So, you know, the Jets, the Jets had had enough.

Yeah.

And I mean, Aaron, a year ago at this time, people remember,

Madison Plumber (caller)

they

Mike Clemens

had their mandatory mini camp under head coach Robert Sala.

who got left, you know, hanging out to dry in front of the New York media, like, where's your quarterback back from the Torna Killies?

Well, he's got other plans.

He's not here.

Are you going to have to find him?

I mean, according to the rules, you have to find a guy.

Yes.

Yeah, we'll have to find him.

And that's how the jet started last year.

And people thought, well, it's Aaron Rodgers.

It's not that big of a deal.

It's a big deal.

And you know why?

Because your teammates need to get in sync with you.

Sure.

Aaron Rodgers can walk up after.

10 days and be ready to go.

But it's the other players around you that need to get used to you and all your 30 different hand signals that the line of scrimmage and all that.

And Rodgers doesn't seem to have learned that.

That's one of the things that cost him his time here in Green Bay.

Didn't help him with the jets.

I don't know how those habits change except he's supposed to have signed a day and he would be available for next week's mandatory minicamp in Pittsburgh.

And then, you know, week one, he goes against his old team, the Jets, and week eight, Sunday night, Sunday night football, MVP October 26th.

It's Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers at home against Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers.

Pete Schwabba

That will be a fun game to watch.

I'm sure everybody's marking that one.

Mike, before we let you go, I...

That game last night, game one of the NBA finals, I was watching with my brother.

I had never heard of Tyrese Halliburton.

I haven't really followed the NBA much the last couple of years.

What a stud this guy is.

And I had no idea he was from Oshkosh North High School.

Did the Badgers, do you know if they ever tried to recruit him?

Mike Clemens

Oh, you know, I'm sure they did and looked at him.

But whatever the case, he's really come on in the last year and a half.

And then what he's been doing,

In that series against the Bucks, you know, it's stealing the ball, taking it down, bam, and scores.

And then he did it to the Cavaliers who were atop the Eastern Conference all year, did it to the Knicks, and he did it again last night.

They were down by 15 points in the fourth quarter on the road at OKC against the Thunder.

They come back, and now with just seconds left, he gets the ball, drives it down the court, three, two, one, goes off to the right-hand side.

Bam from about 18 20 feet out hits it and they go up and win the game with you like three tenths of a second left 111 10 and all of a sudden the Pacers You know are up one game to nothing in that best of seven series the next game is on Sunday But you know the NBA is always wanting to get as many eyeballs on this thing as they can yeah, they might have one hell of a

entertaining series on their hands for the NBA finals.

Pete Schwabba

And what a great thing for the NBA with two not so huge market teams to have an exciting series like that.

I loved it last night.

After he hit that shot, there was 0.3 left.

And one of the announcers said, that's plenty of time for a catch and shoot.

What?

Yeah, exactly.

That's insane.

Mike, we'll let you get back to work.

Do you have a favorite donut, brand or style?

Mike Clemens

Right now I'm kind of you know, I was kind of big into the Krispy Kreme I was going out to a cover a game in Virginia years ago and And that's when before Krispy Kreme went coast to coast Oh, you got to go to they got this, you know hot ready now sign neon sign and it was was pretty special But lately, you know, if so, I don't like baked donuts.

I like still fried donuts, right?

Okay, right donuts, maybe a little bit of chocolate on there

That's my favorite go-to right now.

Maybe you can get that at a Dunkin or something like that along with some Joe.

But yeah, I like to donate about nine o'clock in the morning on my way to whatever next stadium I'm going to.

Who doesn't?

Pete Schwabba

Fantastic.

Mike, thanks so much, buddy.

Have a great time out there at the Old Ball Park and keep up the great work.

Thanks so much for your time.

Thanks, Pete.

You got it.

All right, that's Civic Media Sports Authority.

Mike Clemens, you know, I kind of shied away Conrad.

I will say from this golf stuff.

Is there something I just don't understand it?

Conrad (Producer)

Well, yeah, they played at Aaron Hills last week, you know.

Pete Schwabba

Where is Aaron Hills?

Conrad (Producer)

That's a good question.

Pete Schwabba

And which Aaron is it named after?

Conrad (Producer)

It's E-R-I-N.

Pete Schwabba

Yeah.

That's named after a girl.

Conrad (Producer)

It's in Hartford.

Wisconsin?

Yes.

Pete Schwabba

Okay.

Conrad (Producer)

And yeah, I watched a couple minutes of it.

Pete Schwabba

Sweden's Maya Stark.

Leading the way yeah with a 700 that's a great score reading golf course.

I here's my thing like I don't really watch hockey either I was the biggest basketball fan ever I love but a game seven of anything I will watch even hockey Oh, yeah, or golf if it comes down to the last hole that game seven and golf is game seven and golf sure yeah

Conrad (Producer)

I mean the yeah, it's it's always exciting to just see those last moments and then

Pete Schwabba

definitely Yeah, thanks to Mike Clemens Mike is out guys out of

baseball game on a gorgeous night.

We are gonna play, folks, after we do a quick break, we're gonna come back and play a clip from Friends that our guest at 705, Mark Unger, was on.

And Mark, Mark is an interesting character because he's kind of a jaded guy, you know, he was a comedian for a long time, kind of a smart ass.

And, but I always loved it.

I drove on the road a couple of times, we did a couple of gigs together and I always enjoyed his company.

But when I saw him on Friends,

I just almost fell off the couch.

It was like this very iconic walk-on role on friends.

It was a guest starring role.

But it's like one of those scenes everybody remembers because he locked Joey.

He tricked Joey into getting in his own entertainment center.

He put him in there with the hockey stick and robbed him

Civic Media Promo

blind.

Pete Schwabba

And Mark's still kind of like, eh, eh, all right.

But he's like this really serious actor, you know.

So we'll see if he's softened a little bit on that when he gets here at 705.

And we'll play that scene next and read some of your texts.

You are here on a great night, folks.

And it is great to have you.

It's Nightlight with Peach Waba on the Civic Media Radio

SPEAKER_01

Network.

Pete Schwabba

All I'm doing is looking at Simpson's donut clips right now.

I can't believe it.

Look at this before the break.

Were you able to grab that?

Conrad (Producer)

Mmm, doughnuts.

Pete Schwabba

It's a night light with peach lava, folks.

Great to have you with me.

It's a Friday night version of Night Light.

It's a gorgeous night here in the state of Wisconsin.

Hope you're having a great night.

Hope you had a great week.

We got some decent weather, I guess, this weekend.

One good day, one bad day here in northeast Wisconsin.

But hopefully you'll take advantage of the weather no matter what because there's a lot of great movies out there.

coming out this week.

So we can, we can talk about those two potentially.

So all right, my guest at 705 is Mark Unger.

We're going to talk about the controversial ending of the Sopranos.

I'll be honest, I still don't know how I feel about it.

You saw it, right, Khan?

Conrad (Producer)

Yeah, yeah.

Pete Schwabba

And I

Conrad (Producer)

wanted to see it like actually like live though, you know, it's different than watching, just streaming, but I wanted to know what it was like actually.

witnessing that on network and just being like, wow, that's the end

Pete Schwabba

of it.

I think if I had seen it on network TV or network HBO, whatever, when it first happened, I would have been like, oh, what?

But artistically, I think I like it.

I'm really actually kind of on the fence and I always have been about that ending.

I like the risk they took to do it.

It's a little unfulfilling, though, but I'm anxious to hear Mark just kind of regurgitate his post from the other day on Facebook because I think he kind of nailed it.

So.

He'll be here at 705, actor Mark Unger.

And here's the scene I was talking about when he played the guy who was looking at Joey's entertainment unit that they were trying to sell.

Joey and Chandler were trying to sell it.

And first I love that Joey asked for $5,000.

It's a great piece.

It's a great piece.

It's oversized entertainment center.

And Chandler says, uh, Gepetto?

$5,000?

When Chandler

Conrad (Producer)

walks to go get his door open and it...

It's false.

Pete Schwabba

He rips his suit all the time.

Yeah, it's great.

And Mark is the guy who will be here at 705, who is the potential buyer.

So let's hear that clip now.

Joey Tribbiani (Friends Character)

This is the unit for you, my friend.

Sturdy construction, tons of storage compartments, some big enough to fit a grown man.

Mark Unger (Friends Guest Star)

What?

Joey Tribbiani (Friends Character)

Oh, yeah.

I got in there myself once.

My roommate bet me five bucks that I couldn't, and then he stuck a board through the handles and locked me in.

It was funny until I started feeling like I was in a coffin.

No, you can't fit in that thing.

That's not deep enough.

Oh, yeah?

If I can't, I'll knock five bucks off the price of the unit.

I already had myself a deal.

Okay.

See?

I told ya.

I come in here just to get away from

Pete Schwabba

it So I Loved when he the episode where he builds that is really funny.

Yes, he's got those Sergio Valente jeans on Like, you know, he's talking about how we need a place for the mail you building a post office So our question of the night folks is what is your favorite kind of donut?

Brand or style will accept either one.

I say a cake donut, a chocolate cake donut with white frosting.

I've always been a sucker for.

Conrad said like a jelly or like a long John with chocolate frosting and a custard filling.

Those seem to be quite popular here tonight with the textures.

Jameson in Pennsylvania says, church potato donuts found in central Pennsylvania.

They only come out on Fat Tuesday.

No joke, the best things ever, ever is all capped.

That's how I know Jameson means business.

Church potato donuts.

I don't know about that name.

Do you want the name potato in donuts?

It sounds too healthy.

Too healthy, too starchy.

I believe Jameson though, they sound delicious.

Our pal Luke Mathers here at Civic Media says my go-to donut is always a raspberry jelly-filled donut, but my favorite donut is a crawler from Grebes or Grebeys Bakery in the Milwaukee area.

Okay.

That sounds delicious, Luke.

I like that too.

I like a blueberry filled with white icing also.

I guess my motor run and donut wise folks.

All right, we got a phone call.

Is this Madison?

Yeah.

All right, Madison from Plummer.

Hey, buddy.

Madison Plumber (caller)

It's Madison Plummer.

Sorry for the confusion.

Pete Schwabba

Oh, that's OK.

All right.

So is Plummer your town, Madison?

No, no, I'm a plumber.

You are a plumber.

Okay.

I always wonder about that because plumber shows up where the where where the city typically is I was like, I've never heard of plumber, Wisconsin, but okay.

Thank you for clearing that up.

All right.

That's awesome.

How's it going tonight?

Madison Plumber (caller)

Uh, Andy, thanks.

Um, so I have a loophole for the cinnamon roll.

Pete Schwabba

Okay.

Love it.

Madison Plumber (caller)

It's called a Persian.

Pete Schwabba

Oh,

Madison Plumber (caller)

yeah.

With cinnamon roll.

frosting.

Pete Schwabba

Yes.

I've

Madison Plumber (caller)

had one of those.

It's the best.

Pete Schwabba

That

Madison Plumber (caller)

is the

Pete Schwabba

best.

So yeah, I think we're just going to have to have, we're just going to have to accept loopholes tonight, tangents, tangential donuts.

What, that's a great name actually for a store.

Um, and I think any and all are welcome.

So where, where, where do you get this?

Uh, where do you, uh, get this donut Madison?

Madison Plumber (caller)

Oh, so.

Well, I guess you can get it from the, uh, the quick trip.

Oh.

No, the best ones are obviously from Fosdolls and Stoughton.

Pete Schwabba

Oh, yeah, yeah, that's right.

We got your text about that.

That's awesome.

Was that you the text of that too, right?

Yes, it was.

Fosdolls Donuts.

All right, Fanta.

Hey, thank you for the call, Madison.

Don't be a stranger.

It's good to hear your voice, buddy.

All right, have a great night.

That's Madison Plumber.

You know, I didn't even ask him.

Is his name Madison or is he a Plumber in Madison?

Conrad (Producer)

I think his name's Madison.

I think so too.

I don't

Pete Schwabba

wanna be presumptuous.

Jameson texts us back and says, I've gotta add voodoo donuts in Portland, Oregon.

But these guys had donuts all over the country.

Jameson is the donut authority.

He says the Portland creme creme creme.

I'm reading that like creme, the show from New Orleans.

The Portland creme is awesome and yes, the potato donuts are made from potatoes and you would never know.

I'll make some and send them to the show.

Big talk, Jameson.

But we would love it if you did.

Challenge accepted.

On your part, apparently.

That's fantastic.

Tom from New Orleans is Todd.

You surrounded.

It's called Bakery.

Tom?

All right.

Hey, we're coming right back, folks.
